Hi everyone, I'm still looking for a record of the death of my gr gr grandmother, Sarah Leonard. She was married to Charles Leonard in Indiana in 1876, and they moved to Illinois. They lived in a little log cabin between Hull, IL and Hannibal, MO. The story from family members say she died in a flood and her body had to be taken away by boat. No one seems to know where she was buried, so I don't know whether to look in IL or MO cemetary or obit records. It would help if I knew if there was a major flood around 1878 or so... Charles Leonard was remarried for the 1880 census. If there was a flood around these years in which lives were lost, perhaps there would be a newspaper record of the flood and the death victims? Where would you look if you were me? Do any of you have access to indexes that could list flood deaths? It would definitely be between 1876 and 1880. Thanks in advance, Lonna
